Interestingly they're trying to do what Australia does with historic vehicles. Basically a vehicle is only required to follow the safety rules of the year of manufacture. Registration can be either the normal full price, or, it you're a member of a car club you can register it under 'Club Permit'. 'Club Permit' is a different type of number plate, ending in either H (historic) if restored with any modern part (excluding brake pads and tyres), ending in CH (Classic Historic) if restored with all original parts (excluding brake pads and tyres).
Generally 'club permit' vehicles can only be driven 45 days each year (some states and territories allow it per vehicle, some only allow it per year for all the ones you own collectively) at your choice, some states and territories only permit such vehicles to be driven on days that your club gets an 'event permit' and then only as part of a club activity (Queensland does this).
Sadly, this all doesn't surprise me because its the standard move towards getting rid of ICE vehicles except for the ones that are drained of fluids (sometimes without engines) that sit in museum exhibits. That's also why they make it so hard to run a museum - huge bonds, insane hoops to jump through, the requirement for the main museums and govt to approve each application for 'registration as a museum', etc. All designed to stop all new museums, no matter how legitimate you're willing to run your museum.
Commonly such restrictions are used because the government want to effectively 'outlaw' certain things - commonly seen with flare guns. Flare guns were never used in crime but both the anti-gun IMO and 'western' govts demonized them, had the IMO remove them from being part of SOLAS equipment and then bans in most countries came along.
Ironically the current parachute flares aren't anywhere near as good as the old flare gun flares and they don't fly as high (height = more time to light the sky) so they don't last as long, nor can they be seen from as far.
Many flare gun museums that had been perfectly fine for many decades suddenly had to surrender their collections for destruction unless they were able to sell them to either of the three states that still accept flare guns as a safety signally device exempt from the firearms act within 3 days of the law change (there was no public warning, only those who new either politicians or police get personal 'heads up' on the bans). The result was public safety wasn't improved, museums that were never a problem were removed and many old 1800's French flare guns were destroyed by the govt in the name of 'public safety'.
Now they're trying the same with ICE vehicles. This is pure BS that needs to be stopped.

 @DavidStevenson-gw2eo I fail to see how that would work given that if you run ANY IOT devices, they should be on one of two IOT networks in your house.
IOT with internet - for the few IOT devices that actually need internet access
IOT without internet - for 99% of IOT devices, especially those that don't get security updates
Then you should have your Private network for all your personal devices (phone, laptop, computer, network printer (enterprise laser printer that still gets updates, otherwise put it on an IOT network), etc.
You should have the relevant firewall rules to only 'Allow Established and Related' from IOT to Private, to only 'Allow new from Private to IOT' and to 'Drop all from IOT to Private'. The rules need to be in that order as firewall rules work in the order they appear.
My point is, if your networks / VLANS are setup properly, 99% of IOT devices will NEVER be on the internet, so how will they know who's doing or using what?
